The Advocate reports that gay rights activist Frank Kameny is dead at 81, from AIDS. Two problems:

1) He doesn’t have AIDS

2) He’s not dead

Oops.

    Oops. The rumors of his demise have been greatly exaggerated.

    For a lot of people, isn’t anyone over 30 dead?

    Mr. Kameny released the following statement:
    “I’m not dead yet. I’m getting better. I think I’ll go for walkies.”
